A classic with a learning twist

Traditional hangman picks words at random, which can feel impossible for learners. Here every word comes with its meaning and your chosen level, so guessing is about spelling and vocabulary, not luck.

Letter strategy

Start with common letters such as E, A, R, I, O, T, N and S. Then use the clue and the word length: a five-letter word meaning "not dirty" with C and N already showing is probably clean.

FAQ

Hangman: questions and answers

How many wrong guesses do I get?

Each solved word earns points, with a bonus for every wrong guess you had left.
